In Episode 24 of Nutrition for Noobs, Kevin and holistic nutritionist Michelle dive into time-tested longevity insights from the world’s longest-lived communities—those studied by Alexander Leaf (via Healthy at 100) such as the Abkhazians, Vilcabambans, Hunzas, and Okinawans. Discover key foundations for a long, healthy life:

• The power of strong social bonds and respect for elders—“loneliness kills faster than cigarettes.”
• A whole-food, plant-predominant diet (≈ 2,000 kcal/day, <10 % animal-based) rich in fruits, grains, beans, nuts, seeds, with minimal processed fats.
• The importance of daily movement (walking, hill work), natural sleep habits, and minimalist living in remote, communally oriented settings.
• Cultural practices like communal meals, purposeful aging, and respect for the land as keys to sustaining vibrant health into centenarian years.

Whether you’re curious about the dietary macros, the social frameworks for aging, or real-world Blue Zones insights, this episode unpacks what truly contributes to longevity. Tune in for a science-backed, myth-busting take on how to live better—longer.
